Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: Honorable Shaykh, this questioner’s father prays the sunnah while sitting, even though he is able to stand.
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it. The sunnah prayer is permissible while sitting, but if he has no excuse, he gets half the reward, half the reward of the one who stands. This is in the voluntary prayer. Yes.
